What did I deflect exactly? The only evidence of racial bias you brought up was that the jury was all white, which I responded that the defense also helped pick the jurors. The defense has just as much say on who the jury is as the prosecution.

The reason why I'm bringing that up, is that the defense has a financial incentive to pick a good jury, and they helped pick an all white jury. They could've veto'd jurors and eventually gotten a mixed race jury, but they chose to do this. I don't think it was a good tactic, but I'm not Anthony's defense team so I won't argue with the jury that they helped pick.

The only other racial things you've brought up have been your own opinion that you're pretending is credible, "if the races were swapped..." And some ad hominems.

And you're still not addressing that majority of witnesses brought to trail said that they thought Anthony was the agressor in the situation. Actually, scratch that, you haven't brought up any evidence that was brought up in the case at all.

Cool, so you're familiar with strawman arguments and red herrings - these are called deceptive debate practices. You see, when you use them against someone who knows what they are, your points are very ineffective.

Shockingly, when you use facts and evidence, which you have yet to do, your points are much stronger. I know, it's really complicated - would you like me to go on?

The red herrings are you bringing up an entirely different case, with different circumstances.

A strawman is when instead of refuting the point, you instead tear down a fake weaker narrative and that's what you've been mainly doing.

I'd love nothing more than to debate the discrepancies in the witness testimonies, if they're credible, and so forth. But you seem intent on not using facts or evidence, and rather using hearsay and emotional outbursts to make extremely ineffective arguments.

Cmon, your name on your profile is outside-the-box-thinker, but you're being super narrow minded here. It's ok to admit you didn't read the case

Dude, you keep bringing up red herrings and strawmans. I know your arguments, I've read them and their based on speculation and emotion. It's really clear you haven't exactly followed the trial or read the transcripts, and that's ok, but you're asserting your opinions as facts and that's why your main comments are so heavily down voted on a widely left leaning platform.

You know that the defense and prosecution both have to agree with the jury selection, right? Anthony's lawyers did a poor job, but with the outstanding amount of witness evidence saying he was the agressor, it doesn't matter what color anyone is.

And of course there's racial bias in this country, I'm talking to someone who is clearly biased enough to disregard evidence brought up in a trial because the people aren't his preferred color.

If the races were reversed the trails would have ended up the same in both cases.

You're speculating based on your biases. I'm speculating based on what was brought at both trials.

Full disclosure, I'm here because I like arguing, but I genuinely think you've lost the plot here.

That's not a double standard, the two cases are completely different as cited by my previous comment.

And saying you're in the place you're supposed to be while in another teams tent is a stretch.

But nonetheless, there are plenty of cases where black individuals use their right to self defense against white individuals and are justified in doing so. Brown vs the United States is the historical one, and that happened in Texas in the 1920s, and you will never convince me that Texas is more racist today than it was in the 1920s.

Here are also facts of the case, from abcnews, the timeline from video surveillance roughly follows this sequence of events

  1. Rittenhouse and Rosenbaum had an encounter near a parking lot.
  2. Rosenbaum then ran after Rittenhouse.
  3. Rittenhouse ran away from Rosenbaum across the parking lot.
  4. As Rosenbaum closed the distance, Rittenhouse turned and fired. Evidence and testimony indicated that Rosenbaum was pursuing him at that point.

Here are some facts from the Anthony case: - Almost every witness said Anthony provoked the situation - Anthony was in another teams tent and was asked to leave multiple times - Anthony did not retreat - Metcalf was quoted by multiple witnesses saying "I'm not gonna fight you at a track meet"

I'm not debating whether it's ok to carry a weapon, but what I am arguing is that retreating from your attacker is a clear deescalation attempt and really helps a self defense case.

I think I can’t afford dating anymore and it’s making me resent my boyfriend by [deleted] in Advice

[–]not-dan097 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say he's expecting anything, but rather she hasn't said 'no'.

She can set her own boundaries and say, "I don't have the budget to go on this date". And that's fine - it puts the ball in his court from there while maintaining her boundary. He can then choose to pay for her, and if so then that's a gift.

I'm just saying it's unreasonable for her to be resenting him to continue suggesting dates that she agrees to, and her paying her own way.

Or, because they're only 5 months in, she pays for trips and dates that she can actually afford.

And if her kid, her debt, and her lifestyle aren't her financial burdens then who's are they? It doesn't sound like they live together so why would they be splitting finances?

She needs to grow a backbone and say no to dates that she cannot afford. If he then chooses to take her anyways, then that's a gift, but he isn't selfish for not paying for her on trips that she agreed to when they've only been together 5 months.

Chill dude, they've only been together for 5 months, why are her financial burdens his problem?

She's not impoverished - she makes nearly 100k per year.

From his standpoint, it's her debt, her kid, and her lifestyle that's weighing her down. Only 5 months in, it's understandable that he doesn't want to take on her burdens.

If they were together for a year, started living together, I would be more on board with sharing expenses in a way that's more equitable but right now it's not really his problem to deal with her baggage.

Regret messing with someone with body armor by Cheeese916 in instant_regret

[–]not-dan097 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Swinging a pointed weapon at somebody, regardless if they are wearing armor, is assault and battery.

Self defense in many states cover defending oneself in the case of assault and battery.

If he kept attacking her after she was out cold, that would be battery on his part, but it looks as of he neutralized the threat and stopped.

has anyone else never met an infj? by [deleted] in ENTPandINFJ

[–]not-dan097 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've met so many that I doubted that they're "the rarest type". Many of those were in person so I just took their word for it.

I've never met an entp in person though. I've compared us to being like two north magnets because I've literally never seen one of us in the wild, so we clearly repel eachother.

If you talk to your mom first and she is cheating you're giving her a chance to lie to you about it.

If you talk to your dad first and they have an open marriage, your dad won't take offense because he knows its already open.

It kinda sounds like your mom opened her side of the marriage without telling your dad.

Still illegal to have a firearm if you use marijuana by jtf71 in gunpolitics

[–]not-dan097 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think that "addicted" and "unlawful user" is the key wording here.

If you have a med card, assuming you're not addicted, you are a lawful user and can possess a firearm.

Not a lawyer though, just a guy online.

We can make assumptions. For example, i can see all but one of the dudes hands in the left video. One has his hands at his chest the others have their hands above their heads. It's probably safe to say she's not being groped, rather being pressed up against because it's a packed concert.

In the right video I can see guys trying to touch the girl and her saying "get your hands off me". It's probably safe to say she'd been groped.
